WARNING: BEAVER CROSSING

[equality]

Hey, Island residents! Do you like Bidoof? A lot? Great! Because you're going to get to meet a WHOLE BUNCH of them today!

It's a stampede! An uncountable number of the normal types, as well as a few of their older dual type cousins, are very determined to get from one unknown part of the Island to another, and they don't really care about what's in their way.

Fortunately, there's plenty of roofs to climb up on, and surely there are enough bore- I mean, kind people out there who are willing to share their perch or rescue you if you get stuck. Plus, the beavers themselves aren't all that tough (for the most part), so fighting your way through is an option, too... Whatever you choose to do, this mess isn't going to end until tomorrow morning. Have fun!

[That's a very common occurrence, unfortunately. The kid shakes their head.]

Dunno.

[onagildedwing]

[...Fine, okay, pulling out that Pokegear. Shuuya is #2 on speed dial! He gets a call from one very confused birdbrain.]

Hey.

[scarletadministrator]

[The phone is picked up in record time. Despite some... interesting sounds coming from the other end. Which isn't too surprising, considering the stampede is happening all over the island.]

Yes, I have your bird, no, you can't have her back now.

[onagildedwing]

[Not really surprising at all. He figured you had one of his birds - they do all know you, after all, and they were all sent to find people in need. It's nothing out of the ordinary for (at least) one to go chill with you.]

That's fine, this is about something else. I have a passenger claiming to be, uh... yours. [If you know what he means. Uh. Awkward.]

[scarletadministrator]

[Maybe more than one. It's more like a branchfull.]

I don't teach my Pokemon to talk. [So he fails to see how anything belonging to him could make such a claim.]

[onagildedwing]

[...yep. Kouji's got a pretty large flock okay.]

They're not a Pokemon. [He hopes you get it with that, he'd... Really rather not ask outright if you had a child.]

[scarletadministrator]

If you had my phone, I wouldn't be on it with you. What is it?

[THIS CONVERSATION IS MAKING NO SENSE. Get to the point so he can go back to enjoying this mess from a safe distance.]

[onagildedwing]

[...sob.]

A child. [NOW do you get it? This child claims to be your child and this does not compute. Literally.]

[Icon's expression is not showing up in his voice at all.]

If I had a kid, you'd have babysitted her by now.

3/3

[scarletadministrator]

Do you think it's messing with you, or the Island?

[In other words take a better look at it and say if it actually seems related to him.]

[onagildedwing]

[A pause as he takes another look over Tokiha.]

...Looks like you, red hair. Acts kind of like you, too. And calls me "Uncle Kouji".

[...]

They look about the right age to begin traveling, too. [You'd have been like...around ten...when they were born and he does not want to consider that image.]

[scarletadministrator]

[Island, then. Welp, this is new.]

...Do me a favor.

Take pics. And do it quick, before the place sends 'em back.

[onagildedwing]

'Kay.

[...Turning so he can get a decent shot.]

Tokiha, say "cheese". Shuuya wants a picture.
